Genesis 17

1 Ke Abram el yac eungoul eu, LEUM GOD El sikyang nu sel ac fahk, “Nga God Kulana. Akosyu ac oru ma suwohs pacl nukewa.

And when Abram was ninety and nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God: walk before me, and be thou perfect.

2 Nga ac fah oru sie wuleang inmasrlok kom, ac sot fwilin tulik puspis nutum.”

And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and I will multiply thee exceedingly.

3 Abram el faksufi, ac God El fahk,

And Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,

4 “Nga oru wuleang se inge inmasrlok ac kom: Nga wuleot mu kom ac fah papa tumun mutunfacl puspis.

As for me, behold my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt become the father of a multitude of nations.

5 Ac fah tia sifil pangpang kom Abram, a Abraham, mweyen nga ac oru kom in papa tumun mutunfacl puspis.

Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.

6 Nga ac fah sot tulik puspis nutum, ac kutu selos ac fah tokosra. Fwilin tulik nutum ac fah arulana pukanten, pwanang elos ac fah orala mutunfacl puspis.

And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will cause thee to become nations; and kings shall come out of thee.

7 Nga fah karinganang wuleang luk nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum in pacl fahsru uh, tuh in sie wuleang nwe tok. Nga fah God lom ac God lun fwil nutum.

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and between thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant: to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

8 Nga fah sot nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum fahl se inge su kom mwetsac nu fac in pacl inge. Facl Canaan nufon fah ma lun fwil nutum nwe tok, ac nga ac fah God lalos.”

And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou sojournest, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

9 God El fahk nu sel Abraham, “Kom, ac fwilin tulik nutum nwe tok, enenu in wiyu pac insese in liyaung wuleang se inge.

And God said unto Abraham, But thou, for thy part, shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, in their generations.

10 Kom ac fwil nutum nukewa enenu in insese pac in kosrala mukul nukewa inmasrlowos.

This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and between you, and between thy seed after thee: Every man-child among you shall be circumcised.

11 Kowos fah kosrala kulun ma mukul lowos, na ac fah pa ingan akul lun wuleang se inmasrlok ac kom inge.

And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and this shall serve as the token of the covenant between me and you.

12 In fwil nukewa nutum, mukul nukewa inmasrlon mwet lom ac fah kosreyukla ke el sun len oalkosr matwa, wi pac mwet kohs su isusla in lohm sum, oayapa elos su kom molela sin mwetsac su tia ma nutum.

And at eight days old shall every man-child in your generations be circumcised among you, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, who is not of thy seed.

13 Kais sie mukul enenu in kosreyukla, ac ma se inge ac fah sie akul ke monuwos in akkalemye lah wuleang se inmasrlok ac kom inge ma na nwe tok.

He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 Kutena mukul su tia kosrkosrla ac fah wotla liki inmasrlon mwet luk, mweyen el kunausla wuleang luk.”

And any uncircumcised male, who circumciseth not the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

15 God El fahk nu sel Abraham, “Kom fah tia sifil pangon mutan kiom Sarai. Ingela inel ac fah pangpang Sarah.

And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

16 Nga ac fah akinsewowoyal, ac nga fah oru tuh elan oswe sie wen nutum. Nga fah akinsewowoyal, ac el fah nina kien mutunfacl puspis. Ac fah oasr tokosra inmasrlon fwilin tulik natul.”

And I will bless her, and give thee also a son of her; yea I will bless her, and she shall become a mother of nations; kings of people shall spring from her.

17 Abraham el faksufi, tusruktu el mutawauk in israsr ke el nunku, “Mea, sie mukul ac ku in oasr tulik natul ke el yac siofok matu? Ya Sarah el ku in orek tulik ke el yac eungoul?”

Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed; and he said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?

18 Ac el siyuk sin God, “Efu ku kom tia tari sang na Ishmael elan mwet usru luk?”

And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

19 Tuh God El fahk, “Mo. Sarah mutan kiom el ac oswela wen se nutum ac kom fah sang inel Isaac. Nga fah sruokyana wuleang luk yorol ac yurin fwilin tulik natul nwe tok — sie wuleang su wangin saflaiya.

And God said, Truly, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, for his seed after him.

20 Nga lohng siyuk lom kacl Ishmael, ke ma inge nga fah akinsewowoyal ac sang tulik puspis natul ac fwil puspis. El ac fah papa tumun fisrak singoul luo, ac nga fah oru sie mutunfacl lulap ke fwil natul.

And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make of him a great nation.

21 Tusruktu nga fah liyaung wuleang luk yorol Isaac, wen nutum su Sarah el ac fah oswela ke pacl se pacna inge in yac fahsru.”

But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

22 Ke God El sramsram tari nu sel Abraham, na El som lukel.

And when he had left off talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

23 In len sac pacna, Abraham el akos God ac kosralla Ishmael ac mukul nukewa in lohm sel, wi pac mwet kohs ma isusyang nu in paol, oayapa elos su el molela ke mani.

And Abraham now took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on the selfsame day, as God had spoken unto him.

24 Abraham el yac eungoul eu ke el kosrkosrla,

And Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25 ac Ishmael wen natul el yac singoul tolu.

And Ishmael his son, was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

26 Eltal kewa kosrkosrla ke len sefanna,

On the self-same day was Abraham circumcised, with Ishmael his son.

27 wi mwet kulansap nukewa lal Abraham.

And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
